Wavefront sensor
A wavefront sensor is a device for measuring the aberrations of an optical wavefront. Although an amplitude splitting interferometer such as the Michelson interferometer could be called a wavefront sensor, the term is normally applied instruments that do not require an unaberrated reference beam to interfere with.
